Sub: Clarification for issuance of only fresh Passes after expiry of validity period.

Instances of some Pass Issuing Authorities extending validity period of Special
Passes issued on Medical Grounds by making repeated endorsements on them have
been brought to the notice of Board.

2. In this context, it may be noted that there is no provision in the extant Railway
Servants (Pass) Rules, 1986 (Second Edition-1993) for extension of validity period of
a Pass by making endorsement on the same, as it may lead to ambiguity and misuse.
Pass Issuing Authorities are accordingly advised to ensure that only fresh Passes are
issued as per extant rules and not to make endorsements for extending validity
period.

3. However, if any inadvertent error occurs/is noticed on a Physical Pass, the
same can be corrected by respective Pass Issuing Authorities with due attestation.
